Re: Yahoo reporting "No MX or A Records" and bouncing emails

A really good first step is to indicate what domain is
having problems, so people can double-check to
make sure there's nothing unusual or broken
seen from other parts of the network, and if
necessary, escalate the issues with private
contacts.

I'm assuming it's not for the domain you're
sending your email from, in this case; but
if that's a bad assumption, please let
me know.

Thanks!

DNSSEC does not appear to be set up on our name servers (which is where
their DNS is), but this has never been an issue before. In searching the
web about this specific message all I am finding is people saying:

1. Yahoo refuses to acknowledge or fix this, and it is happening to a lot
of random people
2. Get email other than Yahoo (which isn't really helpful and I can't
exactly tell my client that)

How do I get a real person at Yahoo?

Greetings Programs,

Yahoo is bouncing email that is being sent to a customer of mine with
the
error that no MX or A records were found for the domain. There is
nothing
wrong with the domain at all, which I have verified from multiple
sources.

Does anyone have any suggestions about who I can reach out to at Yahoo
to
get this matter resolved?


Multiple sources including DNSSEC-aware ones like dnsviz.net ? If the
domain is failing DNSSEC, it would appear normal to conventional DNS
tests.
